I'm not sure if this has been done but you basically post a riddle then when someone solves it they post another

I'll start

What runs but never walks? Has a mouth but never talks?
Has a bed but never sleeps? Has a head but never weeps?

Wrong :-) If he took the pigover, then the fox, he would have to leave them alone on the other bank to go back and get the lettuce. So while he was gone, the fox would eat the pig. Maybe that makes things clearer?

Take the Fox, then the lettuce and then the pig

Nope, then the pig would eat the lettuce when he was taking the fox across...

ahhh...hm....he could throw the lettuce across the river and then take the fox followed by the pig. ^_^

I think its impossible. I dont think you can take the pig the the fox and the lettuce over in ANY order.

The answer is similar to that of the last riddle.

The farmer takes the fox and the lettuce together across the river on the ferry and then goes back for the pig.


Am I right?

Not quite... remember he can only take one thing on the ferry at a time. YOu are on the right track though.

Ok, the farmer takes the lettus, then the fox and then the pig! Am I right yet? lol

No, I'm wrong, cause the fox will eat the pig! *curses*

Ok, wait, I think I've got it!!!! The farmer takes the pig across the river and to the market, sells it, comes back for the fox and then the lettus and then everyone is hunkey dorey!

Am I right??????

Not quite. He takes all three to market together.

Really? Hum.........Ok, the farmer rows across the river with the fox and the lettus, leaves the lettus on the shore goes back to the other side of the river, comes back with the fox, leaves it with the lettus. Then he takes the pig across and he goes to the market with them!

Am I right yet?? lol

Well you pretty much have it... except you forgot you can't take the lettuce and the fox across together. One more try?

I don't see how I can pretty much have this one when I can't take the lettus and the fox across together, because if I leave the fox with the pig, the pig will get eaten. So, I have to either go across to the market and sell one of them and come back or take two at a time.

I agree with you, I dont think there is a possible way to take all of them across in any order!

Okay, here's the answer then: Take the pig across to the other side and leave it there. Go back and get the fox, take it over to the other side. THEN take the pig BACK to the side you started from (leaving the fox alone on the other bank). Leave the pig on the shore and take the lettuce across, leave it with the fox. Go back and get the pig, take him across to join the other two. And bob's your uncle.

Bob's my uncle, eh? *giggles* Sorry, I'm not the brightest crayon in the box..........

omg. I cant belive i never thougth of that. it seems so simple now that you say it. oh well

New riddle anyone?

I've got another..........

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????

What belongs to you but others use it more often than you do?

Your name.

Little_art_gurl: THat's a good one! I can't figure it out... but then I am hopeless at mathematical whatchemacallits...

Tee he he Samatar, I know, it's a humdinger.............

Wow, I really got ya guys on that one, eh?

um....the other dollar never physically exsisted. In the same way that you can make 1=2 and 4=5....I dunno....

Nope, thats not it, dear, keep trying!!!!!!! lol

The government took it in tax?!? I can't figure it out.

lol, nope! Anyone else care to guess, or shall I reveal the answer?

Just a sec, I'm going to ask someone else...

Okey dokey!^_^

OK I've got it. Once the refund of $5 is taken out, the amounts of $30 and $10 each no longer apply. Effectively the payment taken was $25 and $8 and 1/3 dollars each. The bellhop has the remaining $5 which he should have given back to the guests. He gives them $3 and keeps $2, 3+2+25 (or 8 and 1/3 times 3) is $30. So there is no missing dollar, you have to disregard the orignal $10 amount.

Nope, sorry there is still a missing dollar, dear.

And heres how you get it...................

The following night two friends check into the same motel. Once again the clerk charges them $30, or $15 per person. After the clerk remembers the total rate is only $25 he sends the bellhop upstairs with five $1 bills to pay the two friends back. The bellhop knows he got away with larceny once so he tries it again. But this time he pockets $3 and returns $2 to the hotel guests ($1 per guest). So each of the two guests got $1 back from their original $15. Therefore each paid $14 which is a total payment of $28 for the room. Now the bellhop has $3, the guests paid $28, for a total of $31....THERE'S THE MISSING DOLLAR!!!!

*brain twitches* um, even with the answer i dont get it!

I think it's kinda a joke... she is using the same trick but in reverse. Anyway I still say my answer is right! BTW that is one dumb clerk he should be fired...

name a word in the english language that would be pronounced the same if it had all of its letters taken away but one.

Bee?

Actually, "Are" works too...

And "Tea", and "You"! and "Why"...

Wow you ruined his riddle but I think it's "Queue"

lol. . .i think its "pee"

Or "Pea".

So. . .new riddle. . .if a dog goes into the future and bites his tail. . .when will he feel it?

When it gets bitten.

it was queue or however its spelt....

I don't know if there's a correct answer to the time travelling dog debate above, so here's a new riddle. Again please don't answer if you've heard it before.

"Brothers and sisters I have none, but this mans father is my fathers son." Who is "this man"?

Well... if the one talking is a child of the virgin mary than yeah, it could be jesus. You know, "everyone is my child" and all

Nope. It's not as abstract as that.

It's you.

Wrong again, sorry...

Ha, the guys father is a preist?

Nope. No tricks here, just logic.

*grumble* second cousin twice removed or something?

Here's a hint: Break the riddle up into parts. If you figure out the last part, the rest will be alot easier.

it it a half brother
or brother in law

no wait the child of a son from his fathers first marriage

Nope.

grrr

is it you sam?

Is it the "I"?

OK I'll give you another clue...

First you need to work this out: Who is "my fathers son?" Again there is no trick here, just think about it logically.

is it a firstborn son of who you are the dad

That is correct.

"My fathers son" can only be me, since I have no brothers or sisters. So that makes the riddle, "Brothers and sisters I have none, but this mans father is ME." So "this man" must be my son (though not necessarily first born Sadoc).

*sits in the desk with a confused look on his face*

ok, here is a new riddle,

my blood flows red wine, often blue water, but mostly black oil and i only bleed to stain untainted leaves. what am i

Warrior: Who is your fathers son?

I'm totally stumped.......

my brother

i get it sam, confused is just how i always look =P

ok if the answer actually is My Brother then here's the next one if not, dissregard

What's greater than god, more evil than the devil
the rich need it, the poor have it
and if you eat it you'll die

Heart?

nope, not the heart

love? or maybe Ohio.

I never heard of anyone dying by ingesting love before...

Could it be your brain??

brains arent poisonous... ever read Hannible?

nope neither love nor brains,

mmmm brains

I know they aren't poisonous, but I don't think you would survive eating your own brain anyway.

your own brain no prolly not
i mean besides the fact you would pass out from the pain before you even got to the brain?

I think you've stumped us =(

the answer is nothing

=)

yeah, that was my next answer...

For starters:

How far can a dog run into the woods?

To the middle of the woods (the halfway point), because after that, he's running OUT. "Into" means the distance from any edge to the middle, and after that point, he is running "OUT OF" the woods.

I think I've heard that one b4 :P lol

Correct. Well done. Just to clarify "a dog can only run halfway into woods as once it has reached the centre the dog is running out of the woods".

Tee hee hee, yay! I got it right!

I've got another one, it's really easy though :P

What is it that one needs most in the long run?

Air.

Yup, I knew that one was to easy......

I have holes in my top and bottom, my left and right. But I still hold water. What am I?

a sponge

(Assuming I was right)

Throw away the outside and eat the inside then
Throw away the inside and eat the outside.
Of what do I speak?

A cupcake?

CrazyIvan sponge was right. Had some other stuff on sorry for getting back late on this one.

Nope not a cupcake =)

Hmmm . . . 12 days without a guess . . . I better give a clue to keep this thread from dying:

To help you along . . .

Good in a Pan
Better in a Pot
Put it over fire
But never too Hot

potatoes?

Now we're talking . . . good guess . . . but . . . not quite

Well ... once again ... it's confirmed ... I know absolutely nothing.

*walks away with head down ... wait! ... wait!!! methinks I got it.

Corn on the cob???

By all means feel free to suggest another, anyone, in my place, if I am right ;).

Corn on the Cob is right!!!!
Throw away the outside (the husk) and eat the inside(corn on the cob) then
Throw away the inside (the cob) and eat the outside (the corn).

amazing. . .*shakes head*
